I’ve mentioned it before but Varg is such a dumbass he got his wife to film himself trying to swim across a river while wearing a chain mail hauberk and he almost drowned. He is a clown man without the makeup.

Funny thing about that Aarseth guy he murdered, he called himself a communist because he believed all the western propaganda about how evil commies are lol, there’s pics of him from either his apartment or his office with portraits of Mao and (iirc) Tito on the wall

Any other BM bands w/o nazi ties? I’ve listened to Naglfar and Panopticon and they’re both pretty solid, but don’t know much else outside the early Norwegian BM scene

That reminded me of r/rabm, that I used plenty to keep track of the nazis and get some good recommendations. To my surprise, there’s a 2 years old Lemmy community for it: !rabm@lemmy.ml

It’s in dire need of activity, but it exists.

That’s why I’m into EBM/Industrial. Aggressive, rhythmic, usually pissed off sounding and the likelihood of bad politics is comparatively low (even though there are some suspicious band names).

Unfortunately, there’s not a lot of it, it being basically a fad of the years 1989-1991.

Results may vary in the US

Ugh, even if you somehow ignore the racism he tries to simulate every little detail. If I wanted a war sim down to the second I’d play Phoenix Command.
